Raptors are going back to Halifax for training camp

The Toronto Raptors are returning to Halifax for a portion of training camp this season.

After spending five days in Nova Scotia last year, the Raptors will spend a pair of days in Halifax again this year, with an intra-squad game open to the public on Oct. 5. The team will also have two practices at the Canada Games Centre on Oct. 4 that will be closed to the public.

“We are excited to return to Halifax after our great experience last year,” Raptors coach Dwane Casey said in a team-released statement. “The city offers us state-of-the-art facilities and the opportunity to continue to grow the game of basketball across the country.”

For the intra-squad game, the Raptors are suggesting a $10 donation, with proceeds going to Feed Nova Scotia, the Nova Scotia Sport Hall of Fame Education Program, Kidsport Nova Scotia and YWCA Supportive Housing For Young Mothers. Tickets will be available at AML Communications starting on Friday.

The Raptors will spend the first three days of training camp in Toronto. Recent training camps have also been held in Vancouver and Ottawa.
